Review "There is no better way to celebrate Christmas and learn to count to ten than with Christmas Begins With Christ by Gina Kirkland. This wonderful book has many beautiful illustrations to accompany young readers on a colorful journey that will teach them Jesus is always with us and watches over us even if we cannot see him. Kirkland also describes ten things we do at Christmas, such as kissing under the mistletoe, singing carols, and dancing. Finally, she reminds us that even though Christmas is only one day a year, we can spread love every day. Christmas Begins With Christ will appeal to young readers. It teaches them the value of Christmas and emphasizes the constant presence of Jesus in our lives. Gina Kirkland did a great job because there are not many books that offer teachings of this kind in such an extraordinary way. I recommend this book to all parents who believe their children must learn the true meaning of Christmas and want to offer a lesson that will amuse them and make them reflect. This is the best choice they can make." - 5 star review from Readers' Favorite "This is such a wonderful book that helps kids learn and see the spirit of Christ all around us. It's a heartwarming book with a powerful message and amazing illustrations." - From Kid's Picture Book Review About the Author One night Gina Kirkland said a prayer to Jesus for guidance about her writing aspirations. She asked. Jesus answered. Inspiration came days later and put her on a very unexpected path to becoming a children's author. She's forever grateful. Visit her website at www.BeginsWithChrist.com.
